On track for November...

I know Jennifer the meals that feel like last suppers are hard to skip. What I've heard people call food funerals on this site. I'm struggling with that also seems like on a daily basis. I try to substitute Protein Drinks and Protein Bars as much as possible. Good luck hang in there I'll do the same

The lady at my doctor's office rocks. We submitted the papers to the insurance today (my BMI is still 40 and my initial was like 45), so it's probably going to be an automatic approval :: fingers crossed:: So even though I am not yet approved, she still booked me for surgery. Woot Woot!!! I am having it done on Nov 17th. As long as my insurance company approves it. Though I see no reason for a denial, but insurance companies are so sneaky.

I can't wait for the surgery... I am just curious if I will recognize the face in the mirror when I lose the weight and see myself.

I just called the ins company and they told me that my authorization is effective for Dec 3rd. I asked what that meant and she said the doctor has to give them a date the auth is for and they gave dec 3rd. So I guess that when my surgery is??? She says they have one year from the date of auth to actually use it. Dag....Dec???? That's 2 more months. Omg. Glad Im approved but feeling disappointed that it wont be November. FYI...I have BCBS Federal Standard Option. It took 1 week for approval.
